DESCRIPTION:Professor Dejan B. Popović\nFaculty of Electrical Engineering
 \, Belgrade University\, Belgrade\, Serbia\nCenter for Sensory Motor Inter
 action\, Aalborg University\, Aalborg\, Denmark\nToday\, many researchers 
 and clinicians suggest that intensive therapy augmented with electrical s
 timulation promotes reorganization of central nervous system after injury 
 or disease of the central nervous system. We developed neural prosthesis 
 that uses life-like control to activate paretic or paralyzed body parts a
 nd provide otherwise missing function in individuals with central nervous
  system lesion. The neural prosthesis applies surface electrodes and acti
 vates sensory and motor nerves\; thereby\, provide new conditions that li
 kely contribute to the process of the training of the brain. This treatme
 nt is most efficient in individuals if applied in the acute phase of disab
 ility. The FET also prevents atrophy of the sensory-motor systems\, and d
 ecreases the development of compensatory control strategies. Technical as
 pects of the FET system and the effects that have been documented in rand
 omized clinical trials in hemiplegics while recovering the walking will be
  described.
